I was fortunate enough to have two snow days this week and, consequently, I have no idea what day of the week it is. It feels like a Sunday night, but somehow tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!! Woohoo!!! It was a dream to have hours and hours to work on my thesis in the past few days. […]
Hello all! This isn’t an actual blog post; I just needed to share this awesome artifact that’s going to make parts of my research so much easier: the official Griffia website! It’s still in the process of being completed/polished, but there’s already a wealth of information on it. One can learn about the universe, the … Continue reading Griffia Website →
Hello, and thank you, to everyone who has shown an interest in my research! I’m back, and I owe you all an apology for falling off the face of the Earth a few months ago.

Hello again, readers. Let me start this blog off by saying that I am so grateful for the responses generated by last week’s post! I received so many helpful ideas via tweet, comment, and email, and I am floored by the helpfulness of this community.
In the past week, I’ve gathered excellent resources for my project, and I’m going to list some of them here. First and foremost, I’m going to share my incredibly old-fashioned web of ideas that I made a few weeks ago, and which has been slowly growing in size.

Happy Wednesday everyone!So, today I come to the research and Digital Humanities communities looking for help/direction with my thesis work. As you can learn from my first post, I have an idea of what I would like to do with my thesis. To recap:I still…
